Never miss a local story.

Then Smith, police said, made a bad situation even worse: He told police that the shooting happened at another location and that another man wearing dark clothing was the shooter.

He later admitted, police said, to lying about that and pointed officers to the gun under his mattress. Eventually, police said, Smith admitted to the shooting in the bedroom of his home at 20549 SW 93rd Ave.

At 2:30 that Sunday morning, Smith was arrested and charged with killing Von Whitaker with a deadly weapon. Smith is being held at the Turner Guilford Knight correctional center.
